华盛顿,9月15日(路透社)——美国联邦贸易委员会主席周二表示,“所有人都应高度警惕”人工智能企业在游说新监管规则的同时寻求反垄断豁免的行为。

FTC主席安德鲁·弗格森表示,这仅代表他个人观点,并未直接点名Anthropic公司。该公司首席执行官上周呼吁给予反垄断许可,以便竞争对手能够协调放缓人工智能开发节奏,以应对安全担忧。

此番言论是特朗普政府对该提议的首次公开表态,也凸显了人工智能监管有时被视为大型科技公司用来束缚竞争对手的工具。

弗格森是在华盛顿乔治敦大学的一场活动上发表上述言论的。他指出,唐纳德·特朗普总统将为联邦政府制定人工智能政策。

“不过我总体要说,如果企业同时来到华盛顿,提出一系列监管要求和一项反垄断豁免,我的所有警报都会拉响,”他说道。

“他们要求设立准入壁垒,以保护其现有市场地位不受挑战。如果再加上他们要求的反垄断豁免,我认为所有人都应高度警惕这一点,”他补充道。

Anthropic首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊呼吁有意放缓人工智能开发速度,并呼吁豁免竞争对手协同合作的常规禁令。他表示,人工智能代理可能在短短六个月内具备切断互联网的能力,造成数十亿美元的损失。

WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) – The chairman of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday ​that “everyone should be deeply suspicious” about AI companies ‌seeking antitrust exemptions while they also lobby for new regulations.

FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said he was expressing his personal opinion, and did not directly name Anthropic, ​whose CEO last week called for antitrust permission to ​enable rivals to coordinate a slower pace to AI ⁠development amid safety concerns.

The comments are the first public indication ​of how the Trump administration views that pitch, and highlight ​how AI regulation is sometimes perceived as a tool large tech companies use to hamstring rivals.

Ferguson made the comments at an event at Georgetown ​University in Washington. He noted that President Donald Trump would ​set AI policy for the federal government.

“I will say generally, though, that ‌if ⁠companies are simultaneously coming to Washington and asking for a host of regulations and an antitrust exemption, all of my alarm bells go off,” he said.

“They’re asking for barriers to entry ​that will insulate ​their incumbency ⁠from challenge. And I think if you combine that with the requested antitrust exemption, everyone ​should be deeply suspicious about this,” he added.

Anthropic ​CEO Dario ⁠Amodei called for an intentional slowdown of AI development, and for an exemption to usual prohibtions on competitors working together. AI ⁠agents ​could become capable of shutting down ​the internet in as soon as six months, causing billions of dollars in damage, ​he said.
